Remember the day when someone could mention a cloud and lawyers would wonder if he meant a cumulus or cirrus cloud? Today, the legal profession no longer needs meteorologists to teach us about clouds; we need information technology professionals. More businesses are using clouds for data storage. However, is the cloud the best option for attorneys and/or their clients?
Simply put, when referring to electronic data, the cloud is data storage maintained by a third-party and accessed through an Internet connection. This data storage can include servers, networks, applications and support services. Common examples of cloud storage include Dropbox, iCloud and Amazon Cloud, plus those offered by Microsoft and Google.
